Behind the scenes photographs
Below are a few iPhone photographs shot behind the scenes on the day of this hike.
![Since I was photographing the twin falls in harsh, high-contrast light conditions, I decided to embrace the contrast. I shot the scene two-stops darker than normal, holding the white highlights of the water and sending the shadow details to near black. See the results below.](https://icatchshadows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_5537-960x1280.jpg)

My favorite video so far! I love old cemeteries too. Major tripod envy, by the way… 😉
